The boy.
Thanks.
Gentlemen. First meeting of the common.
In the Pledge of Allegiance
we have three or. Four public hearing. On the
improvement of.
And I think that is.
Well there we go here we go OK all right OK there's
a public hearing for Montana Dakota I'm in
a total street I'm going to go through the project cost and scope for going to
cover assessment rates and methods of payment. Of comments and questions from the
Common Council and then from citizens affected then the hearing will be closed and
the project will be referred to the Board of Public Works tonight and we would
anticipate
a decision later tonight by the full council where the project limits for Montana
we're going from ninety second Street to ninety six Street where the project limits
for the koto are going from ninety second Street to ninety ninth Street in the
project limits for Manitoba from ninety first Street to ninety six here's some
photographs from Montana street the concrete curb gutter and pavement was installed
in one thousand nine hundred sixty five so that is forty nine years old the
pavement is severely cracked and full of potholes Dakota Street was paved
in one thousand nine hundred sixty one so it's fifty three years old it looks very
similar with lots of panels at the joints. These dark spots indicate that we've had
to send people out time after time to fill the potholes year after year that's very
expensive and difficult for the city to do and then here is minute Toba street
which was paved in one thousand nine hundred sixty four and that is fifty years old
and here the joints are severely deteriorated and patched with asphalt.
So this project will include the removal of the curb and gutter and so we would
install new sections of concrete curb pavement just where the pavement is bad the
street would remain open at all times and instead of waiting for the pavement even
further so that it would need expensive costly work this project will improve the
ride and extend the useful life for at least ten years or more and I guess I'd like
to consider that if we were to resurface the road with asphalt that would cost
about six hundred fifty five thousand dollars and the residence would be thirty
three dollars and forty five cents per foot if we were to completely.
It would be one million four hundred ninety four thousand dollars and the residence
would be fifty dollars but what we're proposing tonight is just
a patch of the bad spots for three hundred fifteen thousand dollars and the
residents are only. Ten dollars and four cents per foot Here's
what the finished product would look like these are actually pictures from the
street which is very nearby you can see that the places where there used to be.
New concrete and the road is solid again there's no need to send anyone
out there to fill potholes every year so it's all concrete
Here's the cost of the project the payment would be three hundred fifteen thousand
. Twenty seven thousand dollars
we might have to adjust
a few. That would be about five thousand dollars we're doing
a little bit of storm sewer for twenty seven thousand dollars in the water some
minor adjustments for eight thousand dollars so the total. Cost of the project
would be three hundred eighty three thousand dollars. The city is proposing to
collect forty four thousand dollars. From the residence which is fourteen percent
of the paving. Here's a sample special assessment for
a. Sixty foot lot. Ten dollars and four cents per foot the
homeowners crossed
a six hundred dollars six hundred two dollars forty now the bills would not be
mailed out until March of twenty fifteen and there would be payment options of the
time which include a lump sum payment plan or
a ten year installment plan and if you were to choose the ten year installment plan
assuming four percent interest especially would range from eighty four dollars
twenty fifteen to sixty three dollars in the year two thousand and twenty four
here's
a little history of special. We've been doing it for over one hundred years and
city residents have historically paid the full cost hundred percent of the new
street in front of their property because the unique benefits of this improvement
gives their individual property now in this project the city is only going to
collect forty four thousand dollars which seventeen percent cost.
Ten dollars per foot for all residential properties in the city no matter where you
live matter how. Much traffic. The actual bid prices are everyone in the
entire city is treated equally as paying the ten dollars and four cents per foot
special The only way to ensure the tax exempt churches charities county parks
utilities and even railroads pay their fair share to exempt from Special some of
those properties do not property taxes at all and then businesses corporations and
manufacturers pay
a higher rate to insure they contribute their fair share and there would be twelve
to fifteen dollars by. This is
a map everyone. Demonstrates that
everyone is paying their fair share these people are actually paying for their
street. Have already
paid over the past ten years.
For this project. Would.
Not make
a profit at this time we'll have any comments or thank

speed of the traffic on those roads we can let the department. Tension of that or
any other questions or comments on public hearing number one. We
will close our first public hearing and I will ask the clerk of public hearing
number two. Hearing on the special permit for conversion of an existing.
Residential commercial building to multifamily at sixty five thirty one.
Thank you. On the agenda. Property.
It's sixty five thirty one Lincoln Avenue they say at the intersection of sixty six
Street and Lincoln Avenue in the south east corner that intersection and it's
a currently and mixed use building consisting of six apartment units with
a. Three thousand square feet of commercial on the ground floor areas on commercial
seed to neighborhood commercial and the proposal is to convert
the commercial component of this existing building which is on the ground floor
about three thousand feet to another six additional units of apartments it would be
one bedroom apartments and
a total of eight parking stalls are currently provided on this property in addition
there would be some exterior improvements to the building as well consisting of
some new replacement windows. And vinyl siding within
these darker brown channels here and the proposed floor
plan to convert the commercial space to the range of.
Unit sizes ranges anywhere from about four hundred square feet up to six of
about seven hundred square feet and these are market rate market rate units the
owner markets these units to seniors now Plan Commission has reviewed this and has
recommended approval and while this does say no objections to date there is
actually want to action. From someone of the neighborhood I believe the next door
neighbor here because Mr share than
any questions from the Common Council on the side of your divine old man like Steve

noise related they felt that some of the existing tenants create a disturbance of
a neighborhood and kill them and legal are there any other questions comments.

a lot of you may know the popular television show around the corner with Jon
McGivern. Version. And it was very well done they had
a premiere party with probably three hundred fifty people State Fair Park and when
we got the ratings it turned out to not only be the highest rated show that they
have ever put together in the four seasons of around. The corner it did the best
but it also in
a seven thirty time slot swept the ratings it beat every major network including
the opening rounds of March Madness So we were all very happy to see
a thirty minute positive commercial for our city was the city newsletter went out

your property every. Spring cleaning and hopefully that
cleaning will go on into the summer with you cutting their grass regularly to keep
their properties looking as possible I also announced today I'm going to be doing

the west of the firefighter portion was won by the fire department for the fifth
year out of six and the winning team consisted of work.
And Steve Kaltenbrunner with an average time of eight minutes and forty seven
seconds to climb forty one stories with seventy pounds of firefighters.
